Felton Road 2008 Block 2 Chardonnay (Central Otago)

Country: New Zealand / Block 2
Variety: Chardonnay Central Otago
Winery: Felton Road /

Rich, toasty and custardy, this is a big Chardonnay that retains a sense of balance, with a creamy texture and a powerful core of citrusy fruit that comes through on the finish. Based on a couple of older vintages, this wine should last at least 7–8 years from the vintage, but I find them most attractive in their youth.
